Talk:Arbroath F.C. 36–0 Bon Accord F.C.

Merge
It appears from both articles that Bon Accord F.C. is a one-off cover-name for Orion Cricket Club and only ever played one football match. The articles duplicate each other. Leave Category:Defunct Scottish football clubs on the redirect Bon Accord F.C. but merge the rest of the content here. jnestorius(talk) 17:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree they should be merged. However, I have mild preference for the finished product retaining the article name 'Bon Accord F.C.'. 'Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord' is a slightly odd name for an encyclopedia article. Ben MacDuiTalk /  Walk  12:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * This match is notable enough to have it's own article just like Australia 31 - 0 American Samoa is notable enough, Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord is not an odd name for an article about a specific match, in exactly the same way that Australia 31 - 0 American Samoa is not a odd title.


 * Disagree with merger, as Bon Accord F.C did reappear later. There was also later a Bon Accord Juniors who certainly traded on the notoriety of the name to play a "replay" friendly match against Arbroath in the 1990s, this time "only" losing 5-0. Mark Boyle (talk) 18:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * How about this article gets merged into Bon Accord F.C., instead of the other way around because of the Bon Accord Juniors section. Or we could create an article about Bon Accord Juniors, and go ahead with the merge.Aberdeen fc (talk) 19:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

How about a match in the top national league Madagascar ? 149-0
From http://www.rediff.com/sports/2002/nov/01goal.htm Newly-crowned Madagascan champions AS Adema thrashed their opponents 149-0 in a top national league match on Thursday after the opposition deliberately scored one own goal after another in a protest over a refereeing decision.


 * I added this game to the article. Also, according to the BBC article concerning the 41-0 victory in Romania says the Arbroath game is a professional record, not a senior football record. The latter is held by AS Adema from Madagascar. Aleph Kaph (talk) 21:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

BSF Team Las - SB 50 Ishöj 40-0
A match in the danish division 5 ended with this score, and it was a real match (though very far down in the system), does this count as a new record in professional soccer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.65.212.158 (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Inaccurate Arbroath team
The line-up given in the article seems to have been extrapolated from a team photograph (example here). It is not a pic of the exact side which turned up at Bon Accord as newspapers give two scorers who are not pictured - unless the names on the pic are wrong. Until someone has a source listing the actual line-up it is better to remove the inaccurate line-up in its entirety. In Vitrio (talk) 08:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, there was only one name incorrect in the team as it was given and it was not one of the two scorers. The source for the team is Fraser Clyne who wrote The History of Arbroath Football Club, the team is detailed here. I can't tell you why Robertson and Munro are listed as goalscorers as it appears they were not in the team that day. Is it possible they played for Bon Accord and scored own goals? My only other suggestion would be that the reporter may have made a mistake. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 12:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It's more likely to be a reporter mistake than 13 own goals from Robertson and Munro. The scorer report is in 3 newspapers but all the same report.  But I wonder what Fraser's source was.  (I'm also guessing it was not a 5-2-3 formation but 2-2-6 or 2-3-5; also the reports seem to give the lie to the tale about Harp really scoring 37...) In Vitrio (talk) 16:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

"It held the largest margin of victory in professional football"
Professionalism was not legalised in Scottish football until 1893 therefore this statement as it stands is untrue -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:41, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
